- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I watched two related docuseries:
One is baked Hollywood Hustler. It is about this guy who brings in all his college buddies and executes a Ponzi Scheme but claiming to sell Shows to HBO in Latin America.
While the dicuseries is entertaining at times, it is pretty thin on details of what the scheme was and how it went down. A lot of that was because he pleaded guilty so the details were not made public.
One interesting aspect of it all was how he completely kept his wife in the dark about her whole thing. Unless she is just as good of a liar as he is, she claims that she was completely oblivious to the whole thing.
The second one is called ROMCON, Who the Fuck is Jason Porter. I am only about an hour into it and it is about a guy who presumably ripped off a bunch of very successful women.
